The owners of Fuji Yama are opening a new restaurant along the Medical Mile.

Chidorii Ramen & Sushi Bar is a new concept eatery co-owned by cousins Dong Wen Wang and Shun Ci Chen. It will open in October in the Diamond Place development at the northeast corner of Michigan Street and Diamond Avenue on the eastern edge of the Medical Mile corridor.

This is the fourth venture for Wang and Chen, who also own Sakura and the Downtown Market’s sushi bar.
